SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 358,640. dated Marohkl,1887.

Application filed July l, 1886. Serial No. 206,813. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Vnlnrnrn S. BnKoF- sKY, of the city, county, andState of New York, have invented a new and Improved Stove, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention consists of the construction of a stove having a centraldownwardly-proiecting chimney-flue.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings,'forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the gures.

Figure l is a sectional plan View taken on the'line :c x of Fig. 3. Fig.2 is a similar view on the line y y, Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a centralsectional elevation on line z z, Fig. 2; and Fig. 4 is a transversesectional elevation on line e' z' of Fig. 1. Fig. 51s a transversesectional elevation parallel with the line z z, Fig. 2, and through thelines P P P2.

The stove is constructed to i'orm the rebox A, and the three ovens B OI), and the central main outlet-liuc, E. Over the tops of the ovens isplaced the plate F, upon the npper surface of which are formed theiianges G G and cross-flanges H, and upon these flanges and the upperedges 0f the outer main walls of the stove is placed the top plate, l,in which the stoveholes l' are formed, as in ordinary stoves, and which,together with the plate F,

form the flame passage or space J over the' ovens. The flanges G Hdeflect the flame and heat issuing from the lire-box Ainto the llamepassage or space J, and these iianges, together with the top plate, I,form a return-passage, J', for directing the products of combustion tothe main flue E. The oven Bis formed with a double wall and bottomarranged to form the surrounding space K L M, and between the flanges GG is fitted a damper, N, which, when raised to vertical position by rodN or otherwise, closes the passage J' to the tlne'E,

, and causes the heat and products of combustion to pass from thenamespace J down passage K, back through the bottom space, L,

and up passage M to passage J', thence to the flue E.

When the damper N is placed in horizontal position, it closes thepassage M, so that if the dampers O O are not closed, as hereinafterdescribed, the products of combustion will pass directly from the spaceJV to the passage J', and thence down the flue E to the horizontal flueE', which may be connected directly, or by means of a pipe, to anordinary chimney- Hue of a building. l

At the back of the oven C are formed the three vertical flues l? P P,(see Figs. 2 and 45,) and below this oven is formed the space P'. Thelues l? P l?2 connect at their lower ends with the space P', and in thespace P' are fitted the two short deliectingplates p p, which serve todeflect the products of combustion entering space P' from the two iluesP out into the space P', to heat the entire bottom of the Oven O beforereturning by the return-'flue P2, as indicated by the dotted arrows inFig. 2.

At the back of the oven D are formed the three vertical lues Q Q Q,which communicate at their lower ends with the space Q' below the ovenD, and in the space Q are n'tted the two short dellecting-plates qq,which serve to deflect the heat and products of combustion enteringspace Q from the lnes Q Q throughout the bottom of the oven beforereturning through the central flue, Q2. r

The damper O (above mentioned) is fitted in the partition that separatesthe flue P2 from the main central line, E, and is so arranged that whenbrought to horizontal position by the lever a and connecting-rod b, orotherwise, it closes or stands across both iiues E P2, and

puts them into communication with each otherl both above and below thedamper, the damper being centrally pivoted.

The damper Ois fitted in the partition that separates the main tlueEfrom the flue QZ, and is arranged a short distance below the damper O,as shown clearly in Fig. 4, and when brought to horizontal position bythelever c' and connecting-rod b', or otherwise, it closes or standsacross both lines E Q2, and at the same time puts these flues intocommunication with each other both above and below the damper, as willbe understood from the dotted lines in Fig. 4.

By this arrangement, by opening the damper N in the passage J', (dampersO O' being closed,) the ovens will not be materially heated, as the heatand products of combustion pass from the dame-space J directly topassage J and out the main ilne E; but by closing damper N (dampers O Obeing still closed) the products IOO of combustion will pass from thename-space J around the main ,large oven B, through spaces K L M, thenceto space J and main flue E. Now, by opening damper O the main 5 flue Ewill be closed, and the flue P2 will also be closed, and these two ues EP2 will be put in communication with each other, and also, through theupper part of theilue PZ, cut oft' by the damper O, the main flue E willbe put in communication with lthe side Vertical lues, P P, so that theproducts of combustion entering the main iue E from the passage J willstrike the upper surface of the damper O and be deflected into the twoside vertical ilues, P P, down which they will pass to the space P belowthe oven G, and pass around the ends of the deflecting-plates p, andreturn and enter the central ue, P2, up which they will pass until theystrike the under surface of the damper O, which will deect the productsof combustion` again into the main flue E, through which they will passout of the stove. Proceeding from the entrance of the products ofcombustion to the main flue E from flue Pibelow the damper 0, if damperO be now opened, the ue E will be again cut oft' and put intocommunication with the central vertical passage, Q2, and also throughthis passage with the two side ilues, Q Q. The products of combustionnow will pass from flue P" across the main ue E, and enter the passagesQ2 and Q Q, down which latter they will pass to the space Q below theoven D. They will circulate through this space and return between theshort deflecting-plates q q to the central Hue, Q2, up which they willascend and enter the main flue E below the damper O', and pass out of,the stove. In this inanner all of the ovens, orany one or none of them,may be especially heated in their respective surrounding spaces, and theproducts of combustion passing from one oven to Vanother are retained along time in the stove, so that all of the available heat isutilized,`re 45 sulting in economy of fuel.

The rods a a and b b, which operate the dampers O O',` are inclosed bythe side spaces,

R R, between the dues P Q, and at one end of' the fire-box A is formedthe water-heating compartment XV, and below the horizontal iue E isformed a jacket or open space,"E2, through which air has freecirculation throughout its whole length, so there will be no danger ofoverheating or burning the 'oor from the iiue E.

By the use of the flanges G G H the flame is evenly spread under thewhole top plate, l, and consequently the heat will be equallycommunicated to all the kettles or pans placed in or upon the stove, sothere will be an equal heating effect at all parts of the top of thestove.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

l. A stove constructed to forni the downwardlyprojecting main ue E, theside'vertical ues, P P, and return-flue P2, in combination with thedamper O, arranged centrally in an opening in the partition between theflues E P2, and centrally pivoted to close said iues E P, and to putthem into communication with each other both above and below the damper,substantially as described.

2. Astove constructed to form the main flue E, the two sets of Verticaliiues P Q, and the return-dues P2 Q2, in combination with the dampers OO', arranged one above the other in openings formed, respectively, inthepartitions between the flue E and Pl and the flue E and Q2, the dampersbeing centrally pivoted, substantially as described.

3. A stove constructed with the fire-box A, naine-space J, ovens B C D,having surrounding spaces, the dampered passage J', and verf VLADIMIR S.BEKOFSKY.
